Mr Saihara

Chapter 6: Something isn't adding up...

Kokichi's POV

That's right... The most obvious action is to just run away from him, but I left my bag in the classroom and everything will spiral downhill if I do. What is he comes after me and tries to find me... What if... What if...

My mind kept racing at 1000 miles a minute and I was trying my best until I heard a voice when the bathroom door opened.

"Purple one... is that you?" Gundham Spoke.

I broke down then and there with tears flowing down my face as I looked towards the wall away from Gundham. He is becoming my friend but I can't allow him to see me like this. Before I knew it, a hand grabbed onto my chin and turned it around. There I saw Gundham coming eye to eye with me.

"Who dare trouble the captain of the underworld? I shall crush the fool!" Gundham looked at me with fire in his eyes. After a moment, he realised that I am petrified of him. His eyes glowing slowly dimmed down.

"Please... I want to protect you... You are my friend Kokichi." Gundham gently said taking one of his hands and stroking my shoulder.

"I... It's my e-emotions..." I said in between sniffles of my body being overwhelmed.

"They're a curious thing... but you must be true to yourself. No good shall come if one does not be honest. Kokichi. What specifically is the matter?" Gundham said smiling at me. I have never seen Gundham smile, to anyone, ever. I couldn't tell Gundham what was really happening. I do trust him, so I suppose it wouldn't matter too much if I told him a half truth/

"I... I'm meeting up with someone a-and... they w-want me to move in w-with them..." *I started to calm down knowing that Gundham was there for me and that I wasn't alone. I could never let anything bad happen to the Overlord of Ice. 

"Hmmm... Your safety and health are of paramount importance purple one. If it is not in your best interests decline. You know that if I was able to support others I would gladly take you under my wing, but I am simply unable to. I may not be able to aid you in that respect. On the contrary, I am able to prove to you that I can help you emotionally. Isn't that right?" Gundham said speaking to me before looking down into his scarf.

All of a sudden all 4 Devas of Destruction jumped out of the scarf. 1 of them grabbed Gundham's scarf and used it as a tissue to wipe my tears away. 2 of the others started nuzzling up against my neck trying to comfort me with the last Deva going on top of Gundham's head to try and make me laugh with the silly dances it was doing.

I started to chuckle and I could feel my heart warming up thanks to Gundham and his Deva's help.

"Th-Thank you... I don't know what I'd do without you..." I smiled back at Gundham before knowing that I fell right into his arms and threw my arms over his shoulders and hugged him.

"A-Ah K-Kokichi." Gundham was taken off guard before embracing me back as I felt his arms wrap around my waist.

"Your thanks are appreciated. If you ever need me, you have my cellular device recognition code to notify me of your situation." Gundham spoke as he picked up the Devas and allowed them to sit down on his bandages.

"Y-Yes... I will do..." I looked up at the clock ontop of the wall above the door and noticed that I had been in the bathroom for 15 minutes.

"I... I'm late... they're going to wonder where I am... I'm sorry Gundy. See you soon" I shouted as I quickly made my way out of Gundham's grip and ran out of the door.

"Good fortune on you purple one!" I heard Gundham encourage me from down the corridor before heading back into the bathroom.

After turning the final corner before reaching Mr Saihara's room I started to collect my feelings and took a deep breath in as I walked down the hall and entered his room.
